Day 12 of the Krafty Days of Christmas 2019

Welcome to Day TWELVE of 
the Twelve Krafty Days of Khristmas!
It's our FINAL DAY!

We've had such fun looking back on all the incredible new releases we've had at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps in 2019!
Today, the entire team is joining in to share projects again featuring each month's release.

I'm sharing a card featuring OCTOBER - Snowflake Kisses!.



I painted a simple watercolour background and then stamped the snowflakes in our inks (Pretty in Pink, Purple Pansy and Pink Pizzazz). The sentiment is stamped in our Wicked Black ink and I added some stickles and rhinestones for sparkle.

Make sure to visit the KKS blog to check out what the other designers are showing!

I tweaked this little cub from BEARY LOVE to create a Christmas card by cutting around his paws and inserting a wooden candy cane in place of the heart from the original image. I also used two of our inks (Goblin Green and Ruby Red) with our Beautiful Burlap stencil to create the background.

Solid Holiday...a Kraftin' Kimmie Sneak Peek

Welcome to day 2 of the
OCTOBER 2019 release for
Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!


Today we have another holiday set by our fabulous
artist, Melissa Baker-Nguyen called.....
SOLID HOLIDAY!



Such a lovely assortment of solid festive images.  They can be used as accessory images on your creations, on tags, bags, stamped in coloured inks, create patterned papers...so many possibilities!


I created two small tags featuring some of the stamps from SOLID HOLIDAY. I combined our new PERFECT PLAID stencil with the deer head for a more masculine tag. Krafty inks used include Wicked Black, Granite Grey, Berry Bliss, Mossy Meadow and our brand new STORMY SKY. I also used a couple of red dots from our FESTIVE DOTS. The tree tag was created using our Krafty Scenery stencil for the hills and a variety of inks including Bubbly Blue, STORMY SKY, Charming Chartreuse, Mossy Meadow and Marvelous Mocha. Both tags were trimmed in stickles. The "ornaments" on the tress are little dollar store gems.



Check out Solid Holiday in action as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs today. Be sure to leave some love at each stop because I'm going to give away some krafty $$ to a lucky commenter!

You'll see MORE of our brand new goodies over the next couple of days of Krafty Peeks and everything will be released at our LIVE Online Release Party in the Krafty Friends facebook group on Saturday, October 19th at 2pm EST.
